That part is easy :)

*** wdWindowStateMaximize = 1

oWord.application.windowstate = wdWindowStateMaximize && For the Word window itself

oWord.application.activewindow.windowstate = wdWindowStateMaximize && For the active document window in Word

or

oWord.application.windows(1).windowstate = wdWindowStateMaximize
or by window name

oWord.application.windows("Document1").windowstate = wdWindowStateMaximize

You can directly assign 1 instead wdWindowStateMaximize (check VBA help for those constants) or include the header file for Word97 constants from Files section
